Sport24.co.za | Bavuma rejoins Proteas ahead of Wanderers Test

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – Temba Bavuma has rejoined the Proteas squad ahead of the fourth Test against England at the Wanderers.

The Proteas are still playing in the third Test at St George’s Park, where they are expected to lose on day five on Monday, but they will then make their way to Johannesburg on Tuesday. 

Bavuma, Beuran Hendricks, Andile Phehlukwayo and Keegan Petersen have all been told to join the squad in Johannesburg on Tuesday, meaning they will miss this week’s 4-Day Franchise Series action. 

Bavuma was controversially dropped from the Test side after being injured for the Boxing Day Test at the start of the series and told to go back to franchise cricket and bat his way back into the side. 

Last week, he carded his highest-ever first-class score with a superb knock of 180 for the Lions against the Dolphins in Pietermaritzburg. 

He is expected to replace the struggling Zubayr Hamza in the matchday XI, while the highly-rated Petersen is another option. 

Hendricks and Phehlukwayo, meanwhile, will come into the conversation when discussing the replacement for premier strike bowler Kagiso Rabada, who has been suspended for the Wanderers. 

The fourth Test gets underway on Friday. 

Proteas Test squad:

Faf du Plessis (Titans, captain), Quinton de Kock (Titans), Dean Elgar (Titans), Keshav Maharaj (Dolphins), Rassie van der Dussen (Lions), Pieter Malan (Cape Cobras), Zubayr Hamza (Cape Cobras), Anrich Nortje (Warriors), Dane Paterson (Cape Cobras), Vernon Philander (Cape Cobras), Dwaine Pretorius (Lions), Kagiso Rabada (Lions), Temba Bavuma (Lions), Andile Phehlukwayo (Dolphins), Beuran Hendricks (Lions), Keegan Petersen (Knights).

News24.com | Port Elizabeth taxi shooting: Suspected gangster arrested after one man was killed and 2 others were injured

You Need Posted on by

A 23-year-old suspected gangster was arrested for the murder of a 28-year-old man in a taxi shooting in Port Elizabeth on Saturday. 

It is alleged that the 28-year-old man, identified as Jimmy Valentine, and two other men were waiting for a taxi on the corner Durban Road and Cottrell Street in Korsten.

When a taxi arrived, three men pounced on it and opened fire, police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said. 

Valentine died on the scene but the two other men were not injured.

However, Naidu said stray bullets hit two people at a nearby barber shop. A 25-year-old man who was waiting for a haircut was shot in his hand and buttocks, and the barber was hit in his abdomen.

They were taken to hospital. 

“It is further alleged that two suspects pointed a firearm at a driver (39) of a Ford ranger bakkie and they got into the bakkie and ordered him to drive off. The suspects got off further down Durban Road. The other suspect ran off on foot,” Naidu said.

The provincial Organised Crime Investigation unit arrested the suspected gangster at his mother’s house in Springbok Street, Gelvandale.

Naidu said he was out on bail for an attempted murder case.

He was detained for murder, two counts of attempted murder and the contravention of his bail conditions.

He is expected to appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court later on Monday. 

A search for the other two suspects is under way.

Health24.com | Differences found in brains of kids born to depressed parents

You Need Posted on by

The brains of kids who have a high risk of depression because they have parents with depression are structurally different from other kids’ brains, a new study finds.

Depression often first appears during adolescence. Having a parent with depression is one of the biggest known risk factors. Teens whose parents have depression are two to three times more likely to develop depression than other teens, research shows.

But the brain mechanisms behind this family risk are unclear.

To learn more, Columbia University researchers analysed brain images from more 7 000 children. They described it as the largest study of its kind done in the United States.

About one-third of the kids were at high risk because they had a parent with depression. In those kids, a brain structure called the right putamen – which is linked to reward, motivation and the experience of pleasure – was smaller than in children of parents without a history of depression.

The study was published online recently in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

“These findings highlight a potential risk factor that may lead to the development of depressive disorders during a peak period of onset,” senior author Randy Auerbach said in a university news release. He is an associate professor of medical psychology at Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, in New York City.

A transdiagnostic risk factor

Auerbach noted that prior research has linked smaller putamen volume to a reduced ability to experience pleasure, which is implicated in depression, substance use, psychosis and suicidal behaviours.

“Thus, it may be that smaller putamen volume is a transdiagnostic risk factor that may confer vulnerability to broad-based mental disorders,” he said.

Study leader David Pagliaccio, an assistant professor of clinical neurobiology, said that understanding differences in the brains of kids with familial risks may help identify those with highest odds for developing depression and could lead to improved treatment.

“As children will be followed for a 10-year period during one of the greatest periods of risk, we have a unique opportunity to determine whether reduced putamen volumes are associated with depression specifically or mental disorders more generally,” Pagliaccio said in the news release.

News24.com | Parktown Boys’ camp tragedy: SA Human Rights Commission to help family

You Need Posted on by

The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) says it is willing to assist the family of a 13-year-old Parktown Boys’ High School pupil who drowned at a Grade 8 orientation camp in the North West last week. 

Enoch Mpianzi went missing at the camp, which took place at Nyati Bush and Riverbreak Lodge last Wednesday. His body was found on Friday.

Mpianzi was last seen when a makeshift raft which he and other boys were using overturned on Crocodile River on the first day of the camp.

The SAHRC’s Buang Jones told News24 on Monday that the commission was keen to provide legal assistance to the family after it indicated that it would like the Chapter 9 body to help. 

Jones said the commission would meet with the family to give them an opportunity to raise their concerns about the case. The meeting is expected to take place on Monday, Jones said.

“The meeting is to give them an opportunity to ventilate their concerns and give them an opportunity to explore the remedies they are seeking. But we stand ready to provide legal support to the family,” Jones said. 

Full instructions

Jones said the commission was also ready to mediate between the Gauteng Department of Education, the school and the family.

Further details about the meeting would be released one the commission has received full instructions from the family, he added.

Parktown Boys’ High School has come under fire after the incident and has been widely criticised for the way it handled the case.

The criticisms relate to questions about why it took the school several hours to report the disappearance of the boy – both to his parents and to other parents whose children were on the camp. Questions have also been raised about whether the boys were wearing life jackets at the time they took part in the “water activity”. 

News24 visited the family home in Malvern, Johannesburg, on Friday evening where Mpianzi’s uncle, Sebastian Kodiemoka, said a boy who sat next to Mpianzi on the bus while on the way to the camp was the first to notice that he was missing and alerted teachers.

Kodiemoka said the family was told that the boy said Mpianzi was with the rest of the group earlier in the day and was also present at lunch at the lodge on Wednesday.

Sunday Times reported that the family could not afford a life jacket which was part of the items pupils were expected to bring along.

“A life jacket was required from the parents. We didn’t have money for that. It was for them (school staff and organisers) to decide if he could participate, because it is them who took them to the site,” Kodiemoka told the publication.

EWN also reported that Mpianzi did not wear a life jacket because the boys were only supposed to have been in the shallow water, according to lodge manager Anton Knoetze. 

NOTE: News24 previously reported that the uncle’s name was Sebastian Kodie Motha. The correct spelling of the surname has since been confirmed as Kodiemoka.
